cf is moving toward the loggregator firehose nozzle approach for sending
stuff in cf to other systems.

most logging products and services support syslog. here is a syslog nozzle
for the firehose that should work well with splunk and similar:
https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/firehose-to-syslog

if you're sending metrics, then you can look at something like the datadog
nozzle for integration with whatever metrics service you are using:
https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/datadog-firehose-nozzle

the current system that is being replaced is called the collector [1],
which has plugins for various providers.

i hope that the CF ecosystem will start having nozzles for many different
metrics providers over time similar to the collector.
